Movie description:
Tom Stark is a train engineer, married to his job as well as being married to his nurse wife Megan who is facing the ugly fact that her breast cancer is terminal. The cancer has spread beyond Megan’s body into the tenuous space that keeps a marriage glued: Megan attempts to hide her desperate need for emotional support by continuing to work as a nurse and Tom takes on extra train runs to avoid the reality that face him at home. The other side of the story is equally sad: young Davey Danner cares of his psychologically shattered mother and unknowingly accompanies her on a jaunt to ’see the train’ – a ploy well planned by the suicidal mother to drive in front of an oncoming train to end her life along with Davey’s. The conductor of the train is of course Tom Stark, and when Tom first sees the car on the tracks, he keeps to company policy that recommends gradual slowing rather than the danger of an abrupt stop: the result is the death of Davey’s mother but Davey escapes the crash while trying to pull his mother from the car. The tragedies mount: Davey is left homeless, being placed in a foster home run by the cruel »mom« only to escape to find the »killer« of his mother; Tom is put on leave for the incident; Megan gets the final word that she has very little time left and is ready to leave the distant Tom. It is this inadvertent entrance of Davey into the lives of Tom and Megan that results in a healing of three souls who are desperate for the connection of love.
